Default cleaned the Throttle body, and wow

Well i have used cleaner before and sprayed and cleaned but today my ideal was sucking and when i pushed the clutch in it down to 250 rpms and stalled when i had the ac on. So today i was cleaning and i pushed the blade open to clean and notice right behing the blades it was crusted with black crap that the spray wasn't cleaning so i soaked a towel and cleaned it and holy sh#$ ideal is back and no problem at all. DID wonders so you guys who clean, open the blades and physically clean behind them and it will make a incredible difference. Thanks for reading
